Answer:
It will measure 75 millimetres on the plan.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Scale on the plan = 1:100
Length of the fence = 7,500 mm
To find:
how many millimetres will it measure on the plan
Solution:
As the ratio on the plan is 1: 100, the for 7500 the ratio will
x : 7500
Now by cross multiplication we get
[tex]7500 \times 1 = x \times 100[/tex]
[tex]7500 = 100x[/tex]
[tex]x =\frac{ 7500}{100}[/tex]
x = 75
